Zephaniah 3:11-13
Easy-to-Read Version
11 “Then, Jerusalem, you will no longer be ashamed of the wrong things your people do against me. That is because I will remove all the bad people from Jerusalem. I will take away all the proud people. There will not be any of them on my holy mountain.[a] 12 I will let only meek and humble people stay in my city, and they will trust the Lord’s name. 13 The survivors of Israel will not do bad things or tell lies. They will not try to trick people with lies. They will be like sheep that eat and lie down in peace—and no one will bother them.”

New International Version
11 On that day you, Jerusalem, will not be put to shame(A)
for all the wrongs you have done to me,(B)
because I will remove from you
your arrogant boasters.(C)
Never again will you be haughty
on my holy hill.(D)
12 But I will leave within you
the meek(E) and humble.
The remnant of Israel
will trust(F) in the name of the Lord.
13 They(G) will do no wrong;(H)
they will tell no lies.(I)
A deceitful tongue
will not be found in their mouths.(J)
They will eat and lie down(K)
and no one will make them afraid.(L)”
